Does touring caravan Insurance cover use by friends or family?

Perhaps your touring caravan is just sitting on your drive, and you want to loan it out to someone. It’s best to check your touring caravan Insurance policy prior to doing so, as roughly 60% of all policies do not cover any damage that occurs while the vehicle is lent out.

That said, 73% of touring caravan Insurance policies will cover family members as standard. It is still worth checking your policy definition of ‘family’, as providers will vary in their interpretation. Your insurer’s definition of family may include siblings, aunts and uncles, but not cousins. If you do decide to let other family members use your touring campervan make sure they are experienced and knowledgeable about towing a caravan.

Accepting Payment

For argument’s sake, let’s just say that your touring caravan Insurance does indeed extend cover to friends and family. You in no way want to jeopardise this by accepting any payment for hire. In most cases, you will not be covered if any money has changed hands. This is most often in the fine print, so read your policy very carefully. It is indeed possible to get away with accepting a box of chocolates, or a bottle of wine as a thank-you gift but remember, no matter how casual the arrangement, any money accepted, could very well void a claim. Play it safe and always check your touring caravan Insurance policy’s wording.

Check the Contents Cover

Typically there is a maximum pay-out per item. Most likely the limit will be lower on a touring caravan Insurance policy than it would be on your home insurance cover. Leave your expensive watch or bracelet at home, as these are generally not covered. Sometimes, home insurance will provide away from home cover, which you might be able to make a claim on should an item go missing from your touring caravan.

Getting Back Home

Should you find the need to cut short your holiday due to damage to your touring caravan, you may find yourself needing to make a claim for travel expenses or possibly overnight stay. Find out if your policy covers this.
